As a controller on VATSIM, I rely on my microphone a lot.  And it was working fine until yesterday when the pilots I was controlling had trouble hearing me, and then heard nothing at all!

I thought that the jack may have come out so I pulled it out and put it back in and still nothing.

I can also not record in sound recorder so I don't know if it works or not.  When I try it brings up an error box (the computers way of saying I don't know ) saying:

WTF??  I have created several new documents and it still doesn't work.  As well as all this, in ASRC, the radar client we use, I ran the audio setup and when it can to recording my voice to get the sound levels right, it says:

And, if it's any help, in the menu bar it says mccmfc.

This is really annoying and, yes, I have tried it with different microphones.  What can I do to fix this as I can't advance up the controlling ladder without voice.

Silly question, but you haven't maybe switched from half-duplex to full-duplex on the microphone? I once spent nearly half an hour online with Romulus before I realised what the problem was We had a good 2 hour chat and told each other some v.colourful jokes after that

Don't panic everyone, I managed to solve the problem by finding out the somehow, the focus had gone off the mic and onto the cd audio.  Switching it back changed this.  Thanks for your help everyone.
